Last night, after work, I co-hosted a "man-friendly" baby celebration for one of my cube mates who's wife is expecting triplets (yikes!). We each brought snacks to share, had a cooler full of beer and plenty of hideous streamers to go around. I made a deliciously healthy (and organic) spinach-artichoke dip, served with organic blue corn tortilla chips, organic baby carrots and organic broccoli. A "green-eater's" perfect snack! But as I contemplated munching on the olive/cheese skewers, classic tortilla pinwheels and brilliantly blue-colored cupcakes, I wondered how tightly I should adhere to my organic eating principles. While I didn't actually "buy" the conventional snacks, am I still supporting the industry by eating the stuff? I'm definitely not doing my body any favors by eating the blue dye #7 (or my waistline, for that matter).
And here we are at Friday again. The night Marc and I commonly go out for dinner, drinks and general revelrie. There are only a handful of restaurants in town that feature "organic greens" on the menu, let alone an entirely organic meal. And organic wine? Forget about it - our wine rack is filled with our conventional favorites from Napa ... and I've yet to see Bonterra Biodynamic wine on any list around here.
So, what's an organic-eating girl to do? I'll continue my organic, all-natural buying ways for home consumption and for those rare happy hours or dinners with friends, I'll choose the most natural options available and enjoy it!
I ate the cupcake, by the way.
